From a West London residents point of view it could be bad news, however from a Taxi drivers point of view a third runway would be good business for us.

Not just London, but all the other areas which bring people to the Airport.

I doubt it, their drivers would have to find it first.

I cannot understand what all the fuss is about - when the pilot was interviewed he shrugged his shoulders and said it was just "Plane sailing" :shock:
